Deathstroke is a mercenary and assassin famous for supposedly being the best in the world.

Slade Wilson was an accomplished member of special forces, and was admitted into a covert program designed to create the ultimate soldier. This program was designed to mentally and physically augment Slade, and left him with advanced mental function, speed, strength, and stamina. Though most of military career is unknown, he was ultimately discharged due to unspecified circumstances.

Following this, he took up work as a mercenary. His augmentations and mastery of hand-to-hand combat make him an incredibly skilled opponent, and is more than a match for Batman, who is also renowned for his skill.
